i signed up in 2006, racked up a pending 150.00 and till this day i am only credited 87.00. well now i see that you can cash out at 50. cool i thought, i would take my 50 and forget about them so i cashed out and it says 30 day till payment, and you know what? how convenient right at the 30 day end period they canceled or suspended my account due to "fraud" more than 1 account in my household. considering im the only one who lives here these creeps will do anything to keep from paying you.

I have spent over two years trying to get to the threshold of $100 in approved surveys. If you don't buy or sign up for the offers, you will never get credit, and some offers I did have been pending for over two years. Also, after seeing the threshold for cash out to now be $50, I requested that on 7/27. Over a week ago I e-mailed them as to why I have not been paid, and have received no answer. My next step, and I recommend it to everyone, is to cancel my Discover Card and every other thing I signed up through them, and tell the companies why I am doing it. If we all did this, they will lose a lot of their accounts with these businesses.

i signed on with panda i think in 2006 and have been stuck at 88.00 forever i have offers that have been pending for 2 years now. finally after complaining for months i get a letter back stating that i can cash out now cause the threshold is now 50.00 (so i thought take my fifty and cut my losses) but since i got that letter i can no longer get into my account. i hate this site. i would not recommend them to anyone. i have hundreds pending. big waste of time and effort and i have dial up so it always takes me much longer than anyone else.

My experience with PandaResearch was that it cost me every time I did a survey. It seemed like an advertising tool. And I would like to know how any one can sign up with a company and pay to use their product and most of the time have to also sign up to have their product shipped automatically to you each month for another fee, with the stipulation that you can cancel anytime. I really got messed up a few times because I didn't cancel in time. Very confusing. There must be a trick of some kind to make money with them, one I couldn't master.

Every negative thing that has been said or written is complete and true. They even cost me money that I had to go through my bank for help to get it back. My advice to anyone that is considering Pandaresearch.com as an income or anything else that has dealings including them you should unsubscribe, delete and get off their list as soon as possible.

The product evaluation is a scam. U basically have to make a unwanted commitment to receive any money. What a joke. I will steer all my friends away from panda survey, and I will look into legal action and what my rights are to sue.

Panda Research promises all these HUGE payouts for doing their surveys and at some of them, they even say you don't have to complete the entire survey; you can cancel at any time and still get credit!!! I have been a member since early March, 2009 and even though Panda says it takes up to 1 week for sponsors to check up on the sites visited, the small print says six to eight weeks! Which is it? Needless to say, I'm out over $300 (they have paid out $12, although nowhere the $100 needed to pay completely out. This whole experience has left a sour note in my mouth for any other survey site wondering what surprises they, too, have in store! Stay away from Panda Research.

It took a year to get up over $100 because many (about another l00)still say pending. Finally I got to 105 and I sent for my payment. I kept waiting and checking my pay pal. Finally I emailed them and asked what was up. They said they had tried to call me to verify my pay pal. This was never done before. Plus I checked and my phone # and email were both correct in my profile. There was no reason they couldn't have gotten ahold of me. I too plan to fight them.

I'm so glad I found this page and read all of this.... Is there any sites out there that does pay for taking surveys. I know we're all in the same boat pretty much with the economy. Is there any way to start a petition against Panda and getting it to the high up authorities, just asking... If there's any good sites PLEASE let me know. you can send them to my website if you wouldn't mind. Thanks and best of luck to everyone... ( I've got $70.00 racked up so far but since they don't play I'm stopping...

hey! I join up to do free survey and I'am asked to give credit card info to people I don't even know. And now My account is over drafted by 200 dollars and I have not been paid one red cent. The study is giving me more surveys to do but will not approve me for at least $100 at all. This is scam. some of those surveys were for payday loans now they debit my account they did not give me my loan. panda has done a number on me.

like many others i have over a hundreds pending but only 5 dollars confirmed. i have contacted panda research with no response. it appears to be a scam. i am staying clear of this one.

I am still waiting payment after a year of reaching over $100 I think by stalling you will forget and let go. Now they are saying they have to call and verify. I left emails the right number to call and no message is left on my voice mail. I think its another stall.

I'm glad someone got paid from Panda, because I sure didn't. The problem is they make all of their surveys available to take but 1) you have to use your credit card to participate, so 2) you have to keep a chart of when to cancel all this stuff so that you don't end up paying for it, and then 3) when you look at your account tab, PANDA RESEARCH holds your money in Pending, and doesn't pay in a timely fashion. If you call them, they'll tell you that they are waiting for verification and that it could take 4-6 weeks. It's almost 2009!! NOTHING takes 4-6 weeks to verify anymore!!Legitimate businesses can't afford to be that slow, only those that scam people. AVOID PANDA RESEARCH LIKE THE PLAGUE!

I called them this morning and was told to call another number and ask for Panda Research Customer Service. I called 847-307-5940. I gave them my name and they verified the amount I had been trying to collect. I was told I would receive my payment into my paypal account within two business days. I won't hold my breathe...

I joined Panda research but never really got into it. I normally research a site before I get in knee deep. Panda research is a scam and a waste of time. Luckily there are legitimate sites out there. Currently I'm with cash crates ( there is a lot of proof that they do pay out) and Globaltestmarket.

and no I do not work for any of these companies, I'm just a broke college student looking for a little extra cash.

But, yes, Panda Research should get sued and put out of business. Its offensive to waste a customer's time in taking surveys and then not get paid.

Well, I got good news, I finally got paid in my paypal account today and they do charge you for the transferring of that money mine was for $104.50, they charged me $3.33. but I finally got paid, after waiting for 90 days and then some.
it is very difficult to earn and they should make it more easier than this.
but i dont think i will go back.

re: to my earlier post.

At 1:00 pm today my hubby got a call, because the sent me an email saying they needed to verify my paypal acct, my info, well my hubby got the call today and was able to verify for me. Well, Im getting paid within the next 3 days, well we'll see, because I dont believe anything until I see it. so ill update when Im paid, because I have emailed several times this past week or so. just keep on them. you know you can make money and only need to get $30 before they pay you go to InboxDollars.com, I have already got a $30 check being processed on sept 2nd. after that it will be quicker from that point on.
I wish everyone luck and hope you all have a great day!

I have been with them for I believe a year now, everything was approved, finally after forever ago. The problem Im having is they want to call me and make sure that my information is still accurate, I sent an email saying that I was verified from the beginning and dont need to keep doing it, just pay me already. I thought of sending them a request for payment of what they owe me, I noticed when I did it said, beside the name daves electronics, so he must be the scammer.
could be a hacker stealing our info.
these people dont have a number to contact them, just wait for your payment, or you can only email.
this is terrible.

One thing I didn't notice being iscussed was spending 10-12 minutes filling out the massive paperwork and then being informed you didn't qualify for that survey. What does that mean? It means you weren't suitable for the product they were waiting to shove at you. This happens over and over.
Like the rest of the reviewers said, it is irritable to realize the company you selected for a survey was instead taking your time, not only not paying,but trying to sell you something.

This was my first survey sight also and I am furious!What a crock!I even wrote to them and they just told me I had to wait, it's been 6 months and I want my money!If there is a lawsuit filed I would like to be involved!

So, wonder they stop sending me surveys to do.I'v been filling them out since 7/07 up through somebody stole my e-mail.Erased all my folders and files up to 48.At that time i had $498.o pending ,and $10.00 approved.Now i haven't received any from them what so ever.One thing that is good is i always filed serveys that were free,or let you register for free.Or occasionally received free information,at no cost.I figured after the first 50 serveys the catch to getting paid was you have to spend money,and nothing was cheap!We probably won't ever get paid.For those of you who did i'm glad you got paid.

I have been on Panda Research for about seven months. My husband is on disabillity and I have three children. It is hard trying to get a little extra money especially when a crisis occurs. I have signed up on many research/survey companies and quite frankly I think it is a pain in the butt! For the most part I don't even want most of the things that Panda has to offer and I need the money more than I need those things anyway. I had a feeling that Panda was a scam anyway but now I know. I have over two hundred dollars accumalated and only thirty-nine of it is "approved". Thanks every body for your input. For those who wants to bring Panda and any other scandolous research/survey company down I back you up 100%!!!!!!

Panda Reasearch was the 1st paid survey or paid offers site I joined. It was so exciting to think I could make $1-25 just for reading e-mails or clicking on an offer! Then after being very diligent & accumulating lots of money, it was mostly "pending". I contacted them about offers taking so long to credit. Finally after almost 6 months, I cancelled the whole thing. It wasn't worth the hassle.

I recently got an email from Panda research telling me that I must activate my account. What account? So I went to the website and decided I really was not interested. I already do Harris polls which is legitamate and does not require any kind of purchases. But I decided to google panda research anyhow and it brought me here. And I am glad it did. Please! All of you. CALL YOUR STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. YOU WILL BURY THESE BUMS.

I had been with panda research for about 1 year and I had earned more than $1000.00 and had only $9.00 approved and then out of the blue. No more emails. Did they drop me or becuse I had that much money earned, and they did not want to pay me that they droped me?

Thank you for your blog and for others experiences. Panda just sent my first survey but I decided to check it out before even beginning. After reading all these posts, I "unsubscribed" immediately.

I'm sorry others have had to find out the hard way but at least you are all telling the rest of us and for this I'm grateful!

Robert   Orange County

For starters, I worked my butt off to reach $128. When I requested my payment, I waited two months and than checked the web site to read that holiday times will delay payment (bunch of bull crap). I waited another month and still nothing. I read on the web site that payments will take at least 90 days to be paid (how hard is it to wire to Pay Pal).

And than I receive a e-mail from customer support telling me that they tried and called my home, but an answering machine picked it up and so they are unable to verify my account. THAT'S IT! That's all the e-mail said...no alternative solution. I e-mailed customer support saying WTF. They e-mail me again saying just about the same statement...with no solutions. Than I found their business phone number (847) 572-3256 and I talked with a live person who said he would let someone know. I than received another e-mail saying that they would try and call me again (they had better) to verify my account. Since I waited 4 months and was desperate not to get ripped off, I put on my home answering machine a message just for Panda Research. About a couple of weeks later, I received an e-mail telling me that the money has been deposited into my Pay Pal account and sure enough, it was.

I will never use Panda Research again. They are so quick to take you in, but they do not want to pay...just like an insurance company or a lawyer. They will do everything they can to delay/deny your payment and they still benefit from you in the end with all the offers you sign up with.

I am serious thinking about starting a web site against this group and doing everything in my power to bring them down. What do you think?

This is not a Research company; but a SELLER for other companies. It will definitely COST YOU MONEY and you can only hope and wait, to see if you ever get paid; any amount over what you were required to spend, in order to qualify!
It is a SCAM.

I did get my first $100.00 payment from Panda, but
after several e-mails that went into a black hole,
I finally got a call from them a couple days ago "confirming my account" and said I would be paid again shortly. I've been waiting since last May! Problem with the whole thing is getting signed up with long term agreements, and/or ordering something and getting charged $20.00 for shipping for a "free item"!

At first I was very impressed with Panda as I was with Vindale. Have you tried to write either one of them asking a question about your fund and PandaR sends the same "canned" answer to each person asking the question. "As soon as the advertiser confirms that you have complied" you will be paid. I took one survey that cost me quite a bit, I received the kit (used it as directed) and in the meantime sent PandaR a copy of my credit card charges...no reponse. Today I am sending them the empty sample box and a copy of the charges with a letter asking them to pay me now. We'll see what happens now. The same thing is happening with Vindale.com as well although they pay out at 50.00; they have slowed their payout way down so the money never gets there like it used to. Sounds like some "greedy" Top Hats to me? How about you?

Lee Mathis   Philadelphia, PA.

8:13am on Saturday, February 23rd, 2008 

Panda Research is a rip-off; not only do they take forever to verify the payouts from companies that you have tried they also take forever to pay you once you have enough offers finished.
On one occasion (it might still be listed) they had an offer form ADT security in which you would have to sign a three year contract just to receive the money for trying them.
I requested my payout of 118.00 on January 11th of this year and am still waiting for them to verify my PayPal account which I have had for several years; on the site they tell you that it may take up to six weeks to receive your payment, however after waiting for the allotted time I sent them an email asking about the payment and was told that I had to wait a minimum of three months.
Keep in mind that I had already waited two months or more for them to verify the offers that I applied for.
If you are trying to make a little extra cash don’t use this site it is a waste of your time

Panda Research is not a scam web site. You can receive your earnings in a respectful way if you contact them directly if you did not receive your payment. They are decent people to work with. I would rate my experience with Panda Research as excellent and would recommend it over other similar web sites. Thank you.

I started thinking this was a scam when I had worked over 6 hrs. I accumulated $187.5 and only got approved for $1.5 so far !!!!! The biggest waste of my time in my life (except for that one time when i was 26 and dropped my girlfriend's ring in the toilet. Spent 4 hours just pushing it further down the pipes) definently NOT satisfied!

I'm on early Social Security for a lifelong social phobia. I got into Panda early this year to make a little extra at home on my own without dealing with people. I've supposedly accumulated $486. Last May 19th, I put in a request for the $200+ I was supposedly approved for. On the page where you request payment is this note:

IMPORTANT : User Payment Request may take a little longer than expected during festival seasons since the approval/updates are slow due to higher number of Requests. Inconvenience Regretted !!

What are "festival seasons"? It seems that could be considered any time of the year. I've emailed them twice and they've ignored me. I don't find a phone number anywhere, and I could definitely use the money. I sent an email to 7 On Your Side, and got a phone call back from someone there. She said she'd never heard of the company, though I was pretty sure that Michael Finney had mentioned it once. I don't know if she is planning on taking this up with him to check on it or not. She did tell me not to expect anything. Most of the products I got were junk and the companies kept billing my credit card. Only a few canceled when I asked them to. I had to get a different credit card number to keep some of them away.

its so sad. all i got was a waste of my time sitting at the computer doing these scam..the one thing i dislike is that they always want you to do survey with your credit card for shipping and handling, etc for the trail. thats so these companies can get you on the trail..then you forget, and they try to charge your credit for more money...watch out..don't do it..

I just got in on it thpught it was going to be good, what a scam!! Wish I would have never seen it. I have loooked at a ton of "surveys" got a ton of junk mails. Only two good offers and only qualifed for $12.50. That is along way form the $100. Plus I bought a ring for 14.95, I signed up for a crappy discount card that wants to charge $14.95 momthly. I wil be sure to cancel that ASAP, I got film developed for 3.60. I used a credit card that had no balance so I will be sure to watch it closely.

Would anyone be interested in starting a class-action lawsuit against these people? I dont know how to go about it but would be more than willing to take part in one. These guys have to be stopped and there seems to be no other way to do it. Please, lets get together and make this happen.

My two cents,I think panda research is a ripoff,my question is "how do we get back at them ,and the rest of the other scammers"It seems like the power of the internet should be enough to expose these weasels if we get get together .Any takers?

i joined panda in feb 07. had all my credits($103) within 1 mo. although the credits seemed to not show up even after the 6 wk grace period they say it will take. after 2 mos i left it alone waiting for the credits to show i then took more surveys just wanting to get it over with. i was then up to 133. with panda still only showing 83. during this time i emailed them 3 times regarding this matter. finally got in touch with the BBB. and emailed panda about this. FINALLY.. i showed 101. which still has not changed. i have even emailed them with the account #'s to show i had received product and completed the necessary surveys to attempt to get paid the rest of the money owed me..no response from them. i wish to get the word out to others!!!they are a rip off!!! dec and still not showing over 101. (i think the only reason i went over 100 finally was due to my contact with the BBB. will now attempt to get that in my paypal wish me luck!!

I took surveys in May 2007. My status is still pending for $264.00, I am not holding my breath for my money. This company is a scam, big, big time. DO NOT waste your time.

I joined Panda Research earlier this year. I got my approval for the min. amt of $100.25 July 18,2007, I was FINALLY PAID 11/20/07 only after calling (if you look in the small print of their e-mails you see A&A Marketing in Palatine, Il. I obtained a phone number and then sent an e-mail letting them know that I would be exposing them to my State Attorney General, E-Commerce and anyone else who would listen. I sent several e-mails before they took me seriously. I received my pmt of $100.25 minus the PayPal fee of $3.25. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone. Run don't walk away from Panda Research.

I started doing Panda research surveys 3 months ago, and my account seems to be stalled at just under the minimum required to get paid. I emailed them but all they say is it takes 6 to 8 weeks to get approved. I am sure that 3 months is more than 6 to 8 weeks. I don't believe I ever will get paid. I have done surveys that total more than $300, but am not doing any more. It is a waste of time an money, as you need a credit card for all of them.

This CO. Is a total scam. Everyone of the surveys require your credit card #,For your so called free sample. I am out 80.00$ so far. I SURE would like to get a phone # for panda research. They should not be on the internet. My wife was recently diagnosed with cancer and can not work I have been laid off my job, I was just trying to make a little $ and ended up having $ stolen out of my account. What goes around comes around and they will get theirs in hell. I AM CALLING MY BANK TOMORROW...
